As a person who loves a good buffet and a good cocktail, Bloody Mary bars are right up my alley. Sure, there are those that offer the standard mixes, and add-ins like celery, pickles, and olives... but what about when you really want to go all out?

Itty Bitty Bar is located at 1136 Ottawa Beach Rd. It's described as a "5-star dive bar" and an "unpretentious tavern where elevated bar food and fun come naturally."

According to MLive, Zeeland native Mike Barber bought the bar in 2007 and added a 1,100-square-foot indoor-outdoor patio bar in 2011. In his time there, he's worked to revamp the restaurant's menu and bring in local bands to attract folks from all over. I don't know if the Bloody Mary bar is his idea—but kudos to whoever is behind it, because it looks like one tasty adventure!

When Is Itty Bitty Bar's Bloody Mary Bar?

I'd say one thing that makes the 101-Item Bloody Mary Bar super special is that it only happens twice a year: once in the spring and once in the fall. If you've been meaning to go, great news: your chance is coming up!

Itty Bitty Bar has announced that the Famous 101-Item Bloody Mary Bar returns Sunday, March 15 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

It looks like an absolute smorgasbord of food, packed with meats like sausage, meatballs, bacon, ham, shrimp, and even mini burgers. The deviled sushi and eggs definitely caught my eye, as did the fried bites that appear to be egg rolls and possibly hush puppies, and crab rangoon? What a feast!

How Much is Bloody Mary Bar at Itty Bitty Bar?

One thing I wondered (and folks in the comments are too!) is how much it costs. I wasn't able to immediately find a price online. However, I did reach out via phone and spoke to an employee.

The cost will depend on what kind of liquor you get. Last October, the prices were $18 for well, $20 for the next level up, and $22 for premium. Then load up your bloody with tasty bites! There are no plates, so whatever you can get on skewers and fit in your drink is what you'll be chowing on.

Get There Early

Note that Itty Bitty Bar does not take reservations. The employee I talked to echoed what a lot of people are saying online: get there early to secure your spot!

Other Menu Highlights

Aside from the decadent Bloody Mary bar, what else will you find at Itty Bitty Bar? The menu includes small plates likes the Garlic Mashed Potato Quesadilla, Pot stickers, Nachos, and Savignon Blanc Mussels. Enjoy soup and salad, plus sandwiches like the Carolina Pulled Pork and Blackened Grouper Sandwich.
